DIVE TO FLY
A plunge into the deep unconscious where you can converse with water
you can move it and be moved until everything is upside down…
Fear turns into courage, the abyss becomes sky, and the limit becomes a possibility
The photography exhibition DIVE TO FLY originates from an intuition of Cristina Guglielmino, a versatile artist whose expressive hallmark is the contamination between arts and the change of perspective on the ordinary.
The integration of multiple processes and aesthetic levels is the common thread of her experimentation.
The body signals the water, the water signals the body.
A plunge into the endless mystery of the sea becomes a real flight towards the discovery of new dimensions
… even of ourselves.
An invitation to remind ourselves that, just like water, each of us has the ability to transform and discover new worlds, while remaining true to our nature.
The water crossed by a dancing body thus becomes the means capable of transporting us to a magical dimension where thoughts fade and enchantment arrives, a place where everything seems possible.
Looking at these suspended and poetic images can naturally lead the observer to a dimension of meditative contemplation.
The fluidity of the underwater world, represented in the images, reminds us of the importance of integration and respect for diversity in all its forms. In a “liquid” world where fluid thinking, resilience, dynamism, and integration have become essential requirements for both individual and collective life. They are even more crucial in the need to find and heal that delicate relationship with an ecosystem that needs, now more than ever, our care.

SOUL PORTRAYAL
It is a collection born from Cristina’s experience.
She selected several shots from Dive to Fly that vividly evoke the emotions she felt while posing underwater.
Cristina lets herself be guided by the sensations experienced in those moments, transforming these images into works that reflect the depth and fluidity of emotions. Each piece tells a unique story, inviting the viewer to dive into an emotional journey through the water
“Every dive for me is an unknown.
The give and take shape from the sea
offers me the opportunity to transform
a limit into a possibility,
a dive into a flight
…dive to fly…”
Cristina
